Chapter 20:

Hero,

"You feeling ok?" AJ asked me worriedly. I nodded, rubbing my bump unconsciously. I had been feeling a little off since I woke up this morning. The whole day had been spent decorating the castle for the party tomorrow night. We were at the airport now, waiting for the guests to land. Our friends from Minnesota were coming; some of Carlisle's and Aro's were coming, the Denali clan, Oliver, even Jacob and his family as well as our gang from the home who had gotten adopted as well. We had about 850 guests coming. So yeah, feeling a little nervous multiply that by 850 of course.

I hissed as a sharp pain ran through my tummy.

"Ok that's it. I'm going to run Hero home guys; she's not feeling too great." AJ announced. They all glanced at me worriedly.

"Want me to come with you?" Bella asked.

"Nah, I'll be fine with AJ, you stay here and welcome the guests. I think I'm just a little nervous, what with Jacob, Oliver and Aj in the same house." I laughed humourlessly. There is so nothing funny about this.

Bella giggled nervously, her eyes shifting.

I narrowed my eyes. "What aren't you telling me Isabella?"

She wringed her hands together. "Ok promise not to be mad but I may or may not have made Edward track down Renne and invite her to the party." Bella confessed. She was moving away slowly now, probably terrified by the look on my face. If I had to guess, I would say I looked pretty damn pissed.

"Isabella Marie Swan- Cullen, you did what?" I shrieked.

"Hey you're pretty good at that, get some practice in for the baby you know?" Bella said nervously.

I began stalking towards her and she ran behind Carlisle with a squeal.

Carlisle laughed. I glared. "Ok, come on Aj, take Hero home and let her get some rest ok?"

AJ nodded and grabbed me gently by the waist. I felt the wind rushing through my hair and the next thing I knew, I was lying in bed with my PJ's on. I hissed as another pain shot through me.

AJ looked really worried. "I'm fine, I just-" I didn't get to finish my sentence as a blinding sensation ran through me. The last thing I saw was AJ speaking rapidly on the phone before I passed out.

I woke up to a beeping sound. I felt absolutely numb from the waist down.

"How you feeling Hero?" Carlisle asked.

"What's going on?" I asked, scared to know the answer.

He hesitated.

"Carlisle tell me! Is my baby ok?"

"For now, yes. You are having your baby 8 weeks early Hero. I don't know if the lungs will be fully developed, amongst other things. I want you to give birth with a C section or either you or the baby will die. But I can't do that, or the baby might die." Carlisle explained.

"What are you going to do?" I asked panicking.

"Well right now we have you on drugs that will extend the labour and develop the lungs and brain. But I'm estimating about 3 days before it gives out. So er... Try not to push?"

"Not funny." I growled.

48 hours, I lasted 2 freaking days. C- section it is.

"You did this to me you bastard." I screamed at Jacob. Yeah, jake's here. I'm giving birth in front of 850 people. Screw. My. Life.

His white teeth flashed against his russet skin. Seriously, what toothpaste did the boy use? Would now be a bad time to ask?

"It's ok Baby, just go to sleep. When you wake up everything will be fine." He soothed.

"You really think so?"

"Yes, I do."

I yawned as my eyelids began to droop. "I've missed you Jake, so much."

"I've missed you too Ro." He said, pressing his warm lips against my forehead.

"You're still a bastard." I mumbled.

I don't know how long I was out for. Again, I woke up to the beeping sound I was now so used to.

I blinked as my surroundings came to me.

I was alone. I had been moved into a big red room which I recognised as the immortal room from the books that Marcus showed me about the History of the castle.

A small warm body as pressed against my side. I looked down and I think I died and went to heaven. Lying there was the most beautiful baby girl I had ever seen. My daughter. She survived.

She was so beautiful. Her pale skin was flawless, bright pink pouty lips stood out. She had a full head of dark brown hair. She opened her eyes and I gasped. Bright glowing blue, just like dad's.

I looked at her in awe. Her beautiful blue eyes studied me, as if she was reading my soul. She was totally a Swan.

She gripped my finger tightly and nuzzled against it.

"Welcome to the world Miya Hope Swan- Cullen," I whispered. "You're going to do great things."

AN: SURPRISE! I hope you liked it. Please, please, please REVIEW!
